To fund a Team Leader (key worker) role at each of our 3 centres across the south of England. Team Leaders are what make our approach unique. They work intensively with young people, helping them develop their confidence, health, mental health and the skills that they need to find work and a home.

    Situation

    There are 103,000 young people in the UK that are homeless or are on the verge of becoming homeless. And unfortunately the need is getting greater - rough sleeping in England has risen by a staggering 169% between 2010 and 2017. And once homeless it's a downward spiral - it becomes incredibly difficult to get back on your feet, get a job or go to college. The combination of poor qualifications and high support needs often makes it difficult for them to find work or secure training for work.

    Solution

    At Amber, we offer more than simply a safe place to live. Young people take part in our programme of support, which has been developed to support vulnerable young people to break self-destructive cycles and give them the tools and opportunities they need to transform their lives. The four elements of the programme focus on the root causes and consequences of long term unemployment and homelessness – health and wellbeing, employability, independent living and personal development.
